Satellite swarms and Satellite formation flying missions and technology
The increasing capability of small Micro, Nano and CubeSats satellites, besides its short development time, and launching cost, over traditional large satellites, leads to the trend of using MSM in Earth observation missions with different topology. These MSM topologies or categories can be classified as Satellite Constellation and satellite Formation Flying. A satellite constellation …

DARPA MELT developing high energy lasers for directed energy weapons to counter drone swarms
Laser technology provides major advantages for military applications over kinetic weapons due to High precision and rapid on-target effect, precise and scalable effects, avoidance of collateral damage caused by fragmenting ammunition, Low logistics overhead, and minimum costs per firing. The proliferation of small, low-cost Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) on the battlefield requires a layered …

New “traffic cop” algorithm helps a drone swarm stay on task
Boston MA (SPX) Mar 14, 2023
How fresh are your data? For drones searching a disaster zone or robots inspecting a building, working with the freshest data is key to locating a survivor or reporting a potential hazard. But when multiple robots simultaneously relay time-sensitive information over a wireless network, a traffic jam of data can ensue. Any information that gets through is too stale to consider as a useful, real-t

Thinking Big with Small Drones: An Allied Approach to Swarming
NATO has taken a combined approach towards defending against drones. Now, it should show the same collaborative effort in deploying them. Enabling interoperable drone swarms across the alliance could yield immediate benefits for the Department of Defense while simultaneously strengthening allies with rapid information sharing and common operating pictures. It would create increased opportunities
